The defeat of Marseille on Wednesday evening on the lawn of Panathinaikos (1-0), during the third round of qualifying for the Champions League, made Daniel Riolo react.
It was already one of the most important games of the season for Olympique de Marseille. Unfortunately for the Marseille supporters, their team lost on Wednesday evening at Panathinaikos (1-0), in the third qualifying round of the Champions League. Nothing irreversible however, but the communication of the players and the Marseille staff visibly annoyed certain observers.
In the wake of OM’s setback against their Greek opponent, Daniel Riolo jumped on his keyboard to unleash an acid message: ” OM… the boulard… the lack of humility of our clubs in Europe will therefore never end…“, all with two emoticons displaying a sickly face. A way for the journalist to say that once again, a French club may not have taken its opponent seriously enough while overestimating its own abilities.
” Amazing… “
” We are OM, we have to go to the Champions League“, has also launched Pau Lopez once the defeat has been confirmed. An outing that will not calm Daniel Riolo. The latter had not said everything and then posted a second message, this time concerning the team composition made by Marcelino: “ At OM, how much longer will it take to understand that for lack of much better, Rongier must be a starter? Incredible how detrimental it is not to ‘have the right profile’ in the football of the moment…”
OM…… the boulard… the lack of humility of our clubs in Europe will never stop… 😨😨

For its part, Marseille will have to put their heads back and find the right formula to reverse the situation during the return match scheduled for August 15 at the Stade Vélodrome. If Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and his partners can count on the support of a boiling public, they will also have to show much more than what they offered in Greece on Wednesday evening. Their future in C1 depends on it.
